Operate it magically with your voice

Suppose you are doing some household work like cutting tomatoes and are simultaneously watching a movie. Meanwhile, you get a call.

Short answer time: Know pros and cons

Pros:

As we are using the tablet for almost 24 hours of the day, we need a long-lasting battery. Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7 is offering a long battery life of up to 11 hours per charge which is fantastic and enough for the user.

Cons:

There is a small gap between the casing and the display glass, and it often leads to accumulation of dust, sometimes affecting the hardware of the tablet.

Bottom line

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7 is equipped with features that are more than enough for many routine applications and activities. The camera is nice, and the picture quality is enhanced more than a tad bit.

Thus it replaces the need to carry an additional digital camera. It is available at a reasonable price.

Gain a lot of educational information with Samsung kids

As the gadgets are turning smart, our children also need to cope up and grow up as a smart and intelligent child.

Many apps are available on the internet which provides educational content for kids, but there is a risk involved. Some apps are fraud and teach the content that slightly deviates from the real one. Some apps teach the basic concepts leaving the in-depth part.

Samsung kids provide children with engaging educational content along with easy-to-use parental controls that help the parents to have a look of kid’s progress and set limits on tablet time.

Listen to music whenever and wherever you want

Listening to music is the hobby of every person nowadays. Music has the magic of captivating people and cast the melodious spell on them.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A 7 comes with the preloaded radio app. Unlike other music apps, this radio app can make you enjoy the music even when you are not connected to Wi-Fi.

Light to hold

Working with tablets for 24/7 is not so easy. We often get tired of holding it in our hand due to its size and weight.

This also makes the tablet uneasy to carry hence decreasing its portability.

The reason people use Smartphone instead of a tablet is also this portability. Smartphones are much smaller and can be carried easily. But the storage capacity of a Smartphone is also very less as its size.

Thus to solve this problem Samsung Galaxy tab, A 7 is designed with glass display and plastic back. It is very comfortable to hold and feels very light in your hands.

A captivating and impressive viewing experience

You might be thinking that 7 inches of screen size may not be able to give you a pleasant experience of watching a movie. But it is not as you think.

Fire tablets are ahead of other brands in the current market. You can go for this brand without any hesitation, but which model to go with is the real question? There are numerous models of fire tablets. Many models are so efficient that it always leaves us at a cliff-hanger when we go for the selection of one tablet. I think Fire HD 8 will be best to select. Here I give you Fire HD Reviews.

Short answer time: Know pros and cons.

Pros:

It is cheap and affordable, especially for middle-class people who often prefer budget over the features. At times they can compromise with the operating system but to spend a lot of money to get high-standard operating system will be tough considering their limited income.

Cons:

It is very slow in responding to touch. Some of the customers have even complained about it is not accepting touch input within a year of use.

Bottom line

Overall review of Fire HD 8 is good. The body of the tablet is weak to bear even the drop from a certain height that too multiple times. It can also incur scratches, and still, it will look new. If you are the one who is quite bad at handling the gadgets, then Fire HD 8 is best for you.

Fast and responsive browsing

Along with the internet network and web browser, a processor of the tablet is also responsible for determining the speed of browsing. Yes, it is true. Processor speed, memory, and the browser’s cache all together have even a part to play in the speed with which the tablet surfs the internet.

The processor manages the tablet’s operations including RAM, internet history, calculation, and other computation tasks. RAM, in turn, aids the Processor to increase the browsing and surfing speed by supplying space to hold and retrieve data quickly.

No interruption in your entertainment; it has the power when you need it

Many complain of dead battery only after few hours of usage of the tablet. Battery life is something that the brands are focusing on improving to provide you with more hours of entertainment in one charge.

Fire tablets have fulfilled your most awaited wish. Fire HD 8 is equipped with a long-lasting battery which promises to last for up to 12 hours of a change, even on the usage of internet.

Even if the brightness is full and continuous usage of the tablet and internet connectivity with constant browsing, it gives a minimum of 8 hours of battery life in a single charge.

HD display with vibrant and vibrant colors

Suppose you are watching a movie or a video, which is showing the natural beauties- high mountains covered with snow, glaciers, dense forests, fresh leaves of trees and plants, energizing fresh fruits, vegetables, a variety of wildlife, etc. Just imagine all this in dull colors. All your excitement will minimize to zero.

Don’t worry. Fire HD 8 features a 1280×800 display of million pixels that gives you bright and vivid pictures.

Tough and durable

When you own a tablet, it is apparent that you would love to carry it everywhere and every day. We try, to a great extent, to handle it carefully to prevent it from falling or prevent it from scratches. But accidents are accidents; they are neither expected nor can be stopped. So along with prevention, we also need some security to our tablets which contains many of our important documents and files.

Hence Fire tablets are engineered in such a way that they hold-up against scratches and falls. Fire HD 8 was able to withstand many tumble tests. The comparison results that Fire HD 8 is more durable than the latest iPad and two times more durable than iPad mini 4.

Let us see what is so unique about the product that it has made the place in homes as well as hearts of millions of people all around the world.

Short answer time: Know pros and cons

Pros:

Apple iOS operating system needs no words. The user can experience the advantages. Every user is always satisfied with it. The reason is the iOS has decidedly less or almost nil cases of hanging or lagging when multiple tabs are open.

Cons:

1024×768 display dimension is little less for HD video.

No battery replacement.

No microSD card slot hence storage capacity cannot be expanded.

Bottom line

Overall review of Apple iPad 2 is good, and it is nothing new for Apple Company. The Apple products have their specialties and comforts which never fail to satisfy the customer. GPS navigation is better compared to other brands.

Fantastic bundle of apps:

Many useful apps are in-built in Apple iPad 2 providing you the much-needed space for downloading your other favorite apps. Inbuilt apps are mail, Safari, iBooks, facetime, photo booth, maps, YouTube, game center, iMessage, and Twitter. From social networking to entertaining, to gaming to navigating ever type of app is readily provided to you. Facetime app operates the two cameras (front and rear) in the iPad. You take amazing pictures that will make you see your beauty through your eyes. Many times the photo quality is found to be right in tablets, but the video quality is poor. With the cameras of Apple iPad 2, you can do HD video recording which is hardly found in other tablets.

3G Connectivity:

Internet connection is excellent and reliable as long as you are in an urban and well-developed area. But what if you go on trekking in hilly and snow covered areas? What if you are in a village? The 4G, 5G data plans will also go nil. But this is not in the case of Apple iPad 2.

Are you wondering how it is possible? Providing you with GPS navigation and internet connectivity, even when your data connection is switched off, is not impossible for Apple iPad 2. It is built with advanced 802.11n wireless technology, which is capable of finding Wi-Fi networks automatically, which you can join with a few taps. Thus you can still surf the web, check email or get directions in case you are somewhere without Wi-Fi.

Dual-core A5 chip:

Just imagine that you went to an ice-cream parlor and asked the vendor for a mouth watering butterscotch cone. Then the vendor takes the money for a single cone and offers you two appetizing scoops on the cone. He says it is their occasional offer. Won’t you will feel out of the world? Won’t you feel like you have won some lucky draw? Yes, you will feel and will desire your imagination to be real. What if I say your desire is fulfilled but in a different part? You can get twice the speed of conventional tablet through an Apple iPad 2.

A dual-core A5 chip of Apple iPad 2 makes the work two times faster, i.e., it can do twice the job at once providing you 2x speed.

AirPrint:

Printing has now turned wireless. Laser printing which does not need ink cartridges was introduced long back, but wireless printing is something new and advanced.

Wireless technology has always been appreciated and utilized by numerous people owing to its easiness and comfort. So wireless printing is turning out to be the same smooth and comfortable.

Some other brands also provide wireless printing, but for that, you need to download some apps for making it possible.

Tablets are quite costly nowadays, and we can’t afford to buy a new tablet within a span of 2 to 3 years. Hence our first tablet should be the best so that it remains our last.

Many brands and models are available in the market, and many of them don’t have useful features. Some tablets are incredibly costly and have very less longevity. These models can quickly empty your pocket as you get addicted to it.

Then you will be compelled to buy a new one when the old machine doesn’t work anymore.

Here we provide you with the tips to select the tablet according to your choice.

Decide the appropriate size and accessories you want

Numerous tablets with different size, shapes, body type are available in the market.

All these specifications play a significant role as it profoundly influences your usage. As you use the tablets for multi-tasking like using in office, for watching a movie, reading books, etc., you have to choose the tablet accordingly.

No need to compromise on these specifications as they may not look important to you. But the reality is they are essential while using the tablet. They define your comfort in the usage.

Term#1 screen size and resolution

Different screen size tablets are sold in the gadget market ranging from 7 to 13 inches.

7 inches: this size can be considered to be equivalent to a larger Smartphone size. Hence if you are of a profession that demands travelling from place to place almost daily, then this size of tablets are best suited to you. Especially this size is useful when you travel on public transport. As the public transportation is often crowded the small size aids a more comfortable handling and carrying. Carrying it during vacations is also probable as it readily fits in less space giving less luggage burden.

8 to 9 inches: this size is useful if the purpose of buying is only for playing games and watching movies. Especially the tablets for kids are generally bought in this range of size. As the smaller size affects their eyes 8 to 9 inches of a tablet is OK to go with.

10 to 13 inches: this size is like a mini laptop hence majorly used for official purposes. Working on PowerPoint presentations, preparing excel sheets, writing content in Google Doc. all these activities are suggested to be done with a tablet of size 10 to 13 inches. So choose based on your purpose of buying the tablet.

Resolution: It is observed that larger screen and higher resolution help the operator to use tablets more effectively. Select the tablet with at least 1280×800 pixels for a decent experience. More resolution (1920×1080 pixels) is also better. You can check for the PPI to know how sharp the picture will be. iPad Air 2 is of 2048×1536 pixel resolution and 264 PPI. Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 has 339 PPI with 2560×1600 of screen resolution.

Term#2 Keyboard:

Additional accessories are also essential. If your work needs a lot of typing, then choose the tablets which provide you with the keyboard. This can easily replace your laptop.

Performance of the tablet defines its standard

All of us want our work to be done fast. Slow response is not entertained in any field. Whether it is housework, official jobs or a competition, everywhere it implies the same. Fast you is a better you. But along with speed efficiency also matters.

The same concept is applied for tables. Processor performance is one factor that defines how fast a tablet works or processes data. Processor performance depends on the chip’s speed which is measured in gigahertz (GHz).

Higher the GHz, more smoothly the latest apps and games are run. A quad-core processor is considered a better one. However, it is better if you check some reviews and have a look at benchmarks to get a clear understanding of tablet’s performance. Apple has good reviews in this section.

Term#1 Storage:

We often need to save our work for further use, and hence we store it by saving it on our tablets. Storage in tablets is of two types first is internal storage and second is the storage we get on inserting a micro SD card in the slot provided for it in the tablet.

Many times we need to save a lot of data, for example, we need to save our presentations, documents, mail, etc. related to our official work. Other than this sometimes we save our details, some of our writings, etc. Data needed to save also include our favorite movies, songs, videos, short clips among several others.

Some tablets though have low internal storage. Such devices often provide storage expansion option with a micro SD card. But it is not successful in all cases. For example on the devices with an Android version of marshmallow, data that can be stored in the micro SD card is different than that which can be stored in an internal storage or phone storage.

Entire app cannot be moved to micro SD card, this is why even if we insert our SD card we run out of storage resulting in the lagging of the mobile phone.

Hence make a smart choice depending on the quantity of storage you need.

Apple and Amazon are the brands known for not supporting micro SD cards in their tablets.

Every free cloud storage on each platform is not suitable for everyone.

Term#2 Battery:

One more aspect or specification which affects the performance of the tablets is its battery. Suppose the tablet is so efficient that it readily responds to your touch and also has a massive capacity with both big internal storage and supports a micro SD card but only after 5-6 hours of your usage the battery dies. Again you have to wait to recharge it thoroughly and then resume your work. Here your work duration is depending on your tablet.

So this is what I want to say. A battery is one of the most crucial parts of every electronic gadget whether it is a tablet, a Smartphone, a laptop or something else.

The number of cycles a battery can go through should also be considered. For example, if you use a tablet for some months or a year and then it is inevitable that your battery is give some problem like discharging within few hours, unlike the initial year. Again this is not satisfying. So to conclude we need a battery which needs to be long-lasting and can bear any number of cycle, i.e. it works efficiently even after several cycles.

10-12 hours of usage in one charge is being considered as efficient. Hence go through the tablets with this much of battery life. Do not neglect this or compromise on this as you might not be able to use your tablet only after few days of buying if you neglect the factor about battery life.

Connectivity is what you need to walk along the developing world and not lag behind

Wireless technologies play a significant role in making the electronic devices accessible over vast distances. It is making the world free from all those complicated, tangled wires.

3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth are the conventional technologies that are offered by the tablets. In addition to them, there are also some other technologies which are needed in this advanced developed world. Before talking about them let us first have a look over the 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth facilities. All these are offering seamless connectivity and enabling us to share information and data with other devices.

One more advantage of this is we can store our data in different devices increasing their safety, i.e., if one device is damaged there is a relief that we have the data stored on another device.

Term#1 Wi-Fi:

Coming to Wi-Fi, it is like we cannot imagine our life without internet now. It has become the fundamental need for us. Just like water, food, and shelter.

Many new gadgets are supporting the latest 802.11 ac standard, which uses the 5GHz band exclusively and is capable of multi-station WLAN.

I don’t think any of the gadgets exist today without a Wi-Fi provision.

Give priority to a tablet with dual-band support and the latest 802.11 ac standard.

Tablet with a data connection is better, but if not, it is not a problem as you can find many open Wi-Fi networks in the present market.

Term#2 Upgrades

The highest priority should be given to the tablet with latest upgraded technologies.

Android – 5.0(lollipop) or more updated one like marshmallow, nougat.

iPad- should be at least 4th generation model.

windows-> windows 10.

Make sure the tablet is equipped with an operating system which is being used currently.
